until you really try

until you really try
i will no longer cry
no more tears lost
lines i will not cross
to make amends
in order to pretend
that we understand one another
even though we come from the same mother
because you don't care
although you may swear
that you love me
i must disagree
based on your actions
your constant distractions
all your talk i do not buy
until you really try
